Adobe Embedded Print Engine

A next-gen RIP that reimagineswhat every printer can do

What is Adobe Embedded Print Engine?

Adobe Embedded Print Engine is a next-generation print RIP that natively processes PostScript and PDF files. Equip printers with the ability to handle PDFs from a variety of desktop, mobile and cloud sources such as AirPrint, Mopria, Google Cloud Print and more. Take advantage of the latest Adobe rendering, font and graphic engine to ensure a higher tolerance for non-compliant PDFs, achieving an output consistent with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC – the gold standard of PDF. Ensure accurate colour reproduction with support for ICC profiles. Easily configure it for a wide range of devices, from resource constrained home printers to high-end enterprise multifunction printers. Significantly boost performance with an all-new architecture. Integrate it seamlessly with any platform of your choosing. Available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Get the best out of every device

Get the best out of every device
With just a one-time development effort, Adobe Embedded Print Engine can be tailored by OEMs for a range of target printers—from small office and home printers that have low memory and a single-core processor to enterprise multifunction printers (MFPs) with multi-core processors and several hundred megabytes (MBs) of RAM. Build a single OEM product on a platform using Adobe Embedded Print Engine and then configure it to run seamlessly on a range of devices.

Experience the same behaviour as Acrobat Reader—The gold standard of PDF

Deliver a consistent experience across screen and paper by giving devices the ability to accurately print output that matches what customers see using Acrobat Reader on desktops and mobiles. Take advantage of the same core technology as Acrobat Reader and Acrobat DC to achieve results closest to the gold standard of PDF.

Be AirPrint ready

Adobe has worked with Apple to get AirPrint certification for Adobe Embedded Print Engine. This means any printing device which embeds Adobe Embedded Print Engine need not worry about the quality and performance of printing PDFs, one of the aspects a device is tested for before receiving AirPrint certification.

Seamlessly integrate with any platform

Adobe Embedded Print Engine is platform agnostic and available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Readily develop printers based on Intel and ARM processors and all flavours of Linux and ThreadX. Quickly customise it for any platform with support from Adobe.
